Mainz vs Hoffenheim Prediction: A win for the home team

Round 23 of the Bundesliga sees Mainz 05 welcome Hoffenheim to the Mewa Arena. Mainz 05 have won the last three matches played to boost their chance of bringing European football to the Mewa Arena next season. Hoffenheim have lost the last six matches played and will be hoping to rectify this appalling record. Considering the current form, Mainz seem to have the upper hand. 

Mainz will be dreaming of continuing their winning streak when they host Hoffenheim who are going through a difficult patch. The last three games Mainz played in have been scored with a goal of 10 scores.

Mainz 05 have won two of the eleven matches played. However, Mainz have won the last three matches played.

Without a win in the last Bundesliga matches played, Hoffenheim have plummeted to 16th position on the league table. Hoffenheim are 3 points above Stuttgart in the 18th position. This is surprising because Hoffenheim went on 5- a game-winning run. To avoid relegation, Hoffenheim will need to start winning matches to gain more points and this starts with tightening the defence. 

Mainz, a team growing in confidence and playing at home, welcome Hoffenheim who are losing and with less confidence. Mainz are likely to dominate the match and possibly score the first goal as they have done in the last five matches they have played. The attacking potential may also imply that there will be over 9 corners and 3.5.
